Hi everyone! My nickname is Alexander Filin. I just wanted to share the absolute craziest run of my entire life. I might never repeat anything like this ever again, so I just want to brag a little bit and leave it here. But maybe I can still pull off something similar again. ...That would be awesome! : )

I started playing the WSOP Express on GGPoker/PokerOK from the very bottom (Step 0) and somehow, dodging bullets and playing my heart out, I went all the way to winning a $10,000 WSOP Pass!

But as it turns out, the toughest boss in poker wasn't the high rollers or the pro players... it was the borders between countries. When I won, I believed in myself so much and immediately redeemed the ticket. I started sorting things out, but the harsh reality destroyed this opportunity. After all, I am a micro-stakes player and I don't fly somewhere very often.

My ticket WSOP Europe Main Event has DELETED. Yes. At first, I tried to get a refund because I had notified them in advance and the ticket hadn't entered the prize pool yet. But now I don’t want to dwell on it. Rules are rules — 'Must Play'. I have no complaints against GGPoker; the fact that I couldn't attend is entirely my own issue, as they fulfilled all their obligations.

I’ve accepted it and moved on. It’s definitely sad after such a run, but the main thing is that I proved to myself that I can turn $0 into $10,000! : ) Maybe in time, I’ll be able to pull off something similar.

Honestly, I just want to say a huge thank you to GGPoker/PokerOK for giving regular players with $0 in their pocket the actual mathematical chance to win a $10k package. It was an amazing ride and an unforgettable poker fairy tale for me.

Good luck at the tables everyone, and cherish your heaters when they happen! 🚀

I set a goal to complete the WSOP Express starting all the way from Step 0 at the end of last October. Honestly, I didn't expect it to work out at all, but my run proves that the system actually works brilliantly. 🚀

WSOP Express Freeroll Step 0 to Bracelet Pass! I did it!
